House of the Dragon star shares why he didn't wear a prosthetic during shocking penis scene

House of the Dragon star shares why he didn't wear a prosthetic during shocking penis scene

He very much did his own stunts in that particular scene

A House of the Dragon star who revealed all during the latest episode explained that his dingus needed no prosthetic enhancement.

If you're a fan of the show, or its predecessor Game of Thrones, then you'll know it's a production which is no stranger to nudity.

Viewers of the show will have seen all manner of bums, boobies and ballsacks in-between the politics, violence and their favourite characters being unceremoniously killed off.

In the latest episode of House of the Dragon, Team Green took a trip to the brothel, as King Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) and his crew rolled into a house of pleasure steaming drunk.

During the scene, Aegon discovered that his younger brother Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) was also in attendance, and proceeded to rather unwisely mock the capable warrior and rider of the largest dragon in the show.

While at first Aemond felt shamed, he soon regained control of the situation as he literally stood up to his brother.

Of course, since he was wearing nothing but his birthday suit it was up to the camera to cut to a more discrete angle and it very much didn't, giving House of the Dragon viewers a look at Ewan Mitchell with not a stitch of clothing on.

This will no doubt have pleased a certain cohort of the show's viewers who have formed quite the fan club around Mitchell, while the man himself has told Vulture about the work that goes into such a scene.

He explained that standing stark-b*****k naked in front of everyone and facing down bullying from his older brother was 'encoded in Aemond's DNA' to show that he'd never be bullied again.

Last season showed us a younger Aemond (Leo Ashton), who was mocked by his brother and nephews for being the only one yet to have a dragon, leading him to be pranked as they tricked him into thinking they'd found one for him only to reveal that they've brought him a pig.

Aemond responded by taking the largest and oldest living dragon for his own, which kicked off a fight that resulted in him losing his left eye.

Discussing the preparation that went into the scene, Mitchell said: "Scenes like this start with a conversation about how far you’re prepared to go.

"It wasn’t a choice we made lightly. But it’s true to Aemond that he shocks the audience. Weakness is not part of Aemond’s vocabulary."

Meanwhile, episode director Geeta Vasant Patel told Variety that Mitchell said he wanted 'to be fully nude in that moment', meaning he wore no prosthetic.

There's a reason his dedication to the character has made Aemond one of the most compelling figures in House of the Dragon, and hopefully in the next few episodes we'll be seeing a lot more of him.

House of the Dragon continues with new episodes releasing on Mondays on Sky Atlantic and Now TV.
